I’ve been reading most every day from a One Year Bible that has daily reading from the Old and New Testament, psalms and proverbs. I want to finish the whole book so when I hear something in a sermon, I kind of know the context. Yesterday I found some bible study videos and took some quality time to watch and learn and take notes. It really helped my mood, which has been down and quite empty for awhile. Engaging versus just reading is key I have found. I’ll continue to read the one year pages daily, and I’m looking for a church that feels right to commit to so I go most Sundays to a different one as I search but also will be adding the more intense focused study regularly. #biblestudy #newchristian #findtheway #godhelpme #biblestudy https://www.instagram.com/p/CpcsljpOU1i/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Peas are about ready in the garden, tomorrow I’ll be planting cucumber seeds in their spot so by harvest time for the peas, hopefully will have cucumber seedlings ready to climb up the trellis. 😃 #gardening #trynewthings #ocalafoodforest #growyourownfood #successionplanting #pleasegrow #freshpeas https://www.instagram.com/p/CpbV7OQu-bn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I was trying to fold the frost cover sheet, hoping no more frost will happen soon. Bright Eyes thought I was making her a resting place. #dogbed #notadogbedatallactually #helper #yourekindofintheway #oklaydown #illdoitlater #amstaff #americanstaffymix https://www.instagram.com/p/Co47G0PON8h/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

20 years ago today I walked into an obscure medieval shop in an alley with my Legend of Zelda loving son so he could look at swords. We talked to the sword guy for about an hour and as my son and I were walking back to the car to go home, I said ‘ he was kind of cute.’ My son, 13 at the time and very attuned to his mama, said ‘ I knew you were going to say that. ‘ I stalked the sword guy til he asked me out (on April Fool’s night) and he came to my house for the first time on the 4th of July long weekend and just never left. #mytruelovestory #valentine #anniversary #surprisehappyending #20yearstogether https://www.instagram.com/p/CoqjWKPuUgA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
